The Creator Course: thecreatorcourse.com/paskmakes/ doors for enrolment will be closing this Sunday, October 29th at Midnight I always like making tools, especially hand planes but these little finger planes were a super fun project. :)
There's something almost magical about a craftsman making his own tools. Also, I really like the diversity of projects you do here, everything from restorations to creations in metal and wood, and all of them well-made and interesting to watch. Excellent channel, Mr Pask!
I'm in awe of the craftsmanship here! Jedi Master grade metalwork!!! A small set of these is on my shopping list and they're affordable enough, so I'm not about to make my own, but watching you make them has inspired me to high standards in the work I want finger planes for. Absolutely loved this vid!!!
This video proves why you're one of my favorite creators on RUclips. You have all the big boy toys but you take the time to demonstrate that it can be done with common hand tools. Plus your videos are absolutely amazing, why I've been a subscriber for many years now. Cheers
You're absolutely right that you don't need fancy equipment to make things. People get too hung up on that, but all they really do is make it easier and faster, not any more possible. Also, I love this method of doing ad spots because it's not taking you out of the video. Bob who likes to make stuff does his ads that way, too.
I love that you have consistently gone out of your way (literally doing projects twice) just to show that basic hand tools will do the job. I think if more content creators did that it would inspire even more makers who otherwise would think they can’t afford to make things
Neil, if you haven’t already discovered Ken Parker’s Archtoppery RUclips series, he’s posting free videos of his expertise (that he should frankly be charging for), and they cover every part of his legendary hollow body building process, from making custom tools to his wild machine setups for his intricate builds. Love how your planes turned out and can’t wait to see them put to use. They are 100% missing a maker’s mark! 🥰
One of the things I love about your videos is that always show how it can be done with simple hand tools. It is clear you are still thinking of beginner makers.
I remember my dad using some tiny planes like that when he made a guitar, he used them for evening out the sound boards and made some incredibly fine cuts with them. Very cool little tools and great to watch the build, thanksyou for sharing.
Great project/video. On a side note, the wife started a RUclips channel 6 months ago. I never realized how much goes into you making your videos. All the money you spend on cameras, computers, editing software, time filming, time editing and uploading, responding to comments, etc…I appreciate all your hard work across the board👍 You must spend a great deal of time doing this. My wife spends over 8hrs just to create a 30min video. Plus we just had to spend another couple thousand dollars to upgrade her computer because her old one kept locking up…couldn’t handle all the data. I don’t know what you have invested in your equipment but I’m sure it isn’t cheap. Thank you again for a great video my friend 👍🙂 I have a new appreciation for what you do.
Wonderful little tools, and so beautifully made too. I bought a wooden one a few years back, made from ebony I believe, and I only bought it for fun but was amazed at how useful it actually is. Doesn't take up much room either 😆
I love your videos. I learned so much from you. I have learned how to use hand tools. I’m just a small woman, working in a office. I build things for my self in my living room on a portable workbench - always making ab big mess. I have some power tools like a router (still affraid to use it to it’s full potential) and a small hand circular saw. Staff of lokal hard ware stores support my hobby by precutting materials to weird dimensions they usually not do for customers. I have not build anything realy good or mentionable but i hope i will be able to in the future. Thanks so much for your inspiring videos.
can i just say, that is the best ad integration i've seen from a youtuber yet. you didnt interrupt the video and make me want to skip the ad to get back to what i was watching, you kept the footage going, kept it short and sweet, and got right back to it. well done. i wish thats how all sponsored segments would be so i dont feel bad about skipping the ads and pissibly costing the ad rev for creators i like to watch
"Oh, why would anyone bother with such a fiddly thing?" As I work on fill embroidery for a 6" boarder on a King size quilt. I'll never make one of yours, but they sure are pretty.
Between you and Izzy Swan I have learned so, so much about jigging, but that thing you did for the finger holds on the belt sander is absolutely the smartest bit of jigging I have ever seen. I can’t wait to find a reason to use it in one of my projects.
Your skill, technique, and quality never cease to amaze me. Back in the Middle Ages, you would have been The King's Maker. Good on ya for sharing your skills with us all over the world!
Made my first finger plane with an old nicholson file and I use it way more than could imagine... they're just lovely perfect for chamfers at almost any size project
I love that you show the mishaps, and how it doesn't stop your progress towards completion. A (usually better than) satisfactory solution is always achieved. Gives all of us the courage to have a go, and not give up 😊
The indexing pin on the belt grinder is great. I will definitely be using that idea in the future. Awesome tool builds. I especially like that you showed doing both hand and power tools for this project.
I can't say enough how much I enjoy watching you create. This was really fun, Neil. Thanks for sharing your shop, skills, talents, and abilities as well as your encouragement with us all.
I'm sure it's been said before, but thank you for doing it "the hard way." Proving that us "mere morals" can do it without a massive investment in tools
Looking forward to the guitar build Neil! I've just started a cigar-box style guitar myself, and I agree, luthiering is hard! Looking forward to see where the mini plane comes in, but i have a hunch 👌
This link take you to a video that I found is the very best knife/tool sharpening demonstration/explanation I have ever seen. It’s informative I just had to share it. (I’m not affiliated with the channel)
Fantastic! Useful and inspirational! I use my old worn out recip blades to make marking knives and such as well- a shame to just throw out such good steel.
I've seen some amazing builds over the years on your channel Neil and they never fail to amaze me no matter how many times I watch them. Absolutely wonderful little planes mate.
I made one of these out of a piece of copper pipe once. Really needed a specific one-off (and it really was, one time use, i never found a purpose for it after) profile cut and nothing on the market even remotely came close. They're so easy to make that buying one, even if it's cheap as cheap gets... kinda is detrimental to your skill set as a maker.
The adjustment screws can easily be made in even something like a hand drill (put the hand drill on the edge of a table and keep it down with your non dominant hand allowing you to use a file or an angle grinder to shape the head). The knurling can be made using using a bastard file. Put the file on a table's edge, clamped down or glued with double face tape, and then pressing with your hand on the chuck of the drill, roll the screw on the bastard file's face (no power, just by hand) until the finish is to your liking. DO NOT lift the screw until you've achieved the finish you want. if you do, you'll mess it up.
I totally love these plans! Thank you sir for sharing and for your time! I will try to make one of these as soon as I find some brass that’ll work. I cannot wait for your next project… one love!
I think I wanna try making one when I have access to a workbench again. Im moving soon and maybe my new area has a reachable makersspace !!! . If not I should get a vice as this is basically the only tool that I am missing to recreate it .
All 3 of those plains look amazing, and I know that the aluminium one is just a prototype, but the brass ones polished up like that are sooooooo beautiful! If you did a bit more polishing on that aluminium one, it would also look amazing. You then have either a display item or a potential Patreon prize (sadly I'm not a Patreon member of the channel, so I'm not hoping to win it, although I'd be thrilled if I did win in ..... which I can't...... OK getting dizzy now! 😂).
Slightly disappointed that you didn't engrave your Pask Makes logo into each finger grip using a sharpened guitar string held between some artisan custom tweezers crafted from an old floorboard nail, but perhaps I expect too much 🤣🤣🤣 Great work
slightly off topic for this vid. a while ago, I found myself with a dozen or so old Sawzall blade that were dull beyond belief. so instead of just throwing them away, I made a set of Steak knives out of them, and they are still sharp to this day.
Wow. I don't usually like this kind of thing (the pattern), but this one? I REALLY like it. I'd much rather buy it, instead of making it any day though...😂
Another great video! Excited to hear you’re making another guitar but it does remind me of how you were robbed on the Guitar build off. Such amazing work and your first time to boot. You’re an artist!
It's so rewarding to watch someone with such skill make the beautiful things you do. It just fills a spot in me that would love to be able to stuff like this myself, knows that I might be able to with loads of time and patience, but now don't have to. 😁 I can be satisfied with the things I already have the skills and tools to make, which today starts with the worst job of all: cleaning my work space. Yuck!
The lever cap screws: I've seen people do lots of hand shaping on the drill press for sure. As for the hobbing that you did, that can be done by hand with needle files and patience, and I'm under the impression that irregular patterns have greater grip on the fingers.

Thanks very much - glad you enjoy my tinkerings! I also agree that tool making is magical, it's why I enjoy it so much! :)

This is the cutest wood working tools I have ever seen. The flat bottomed one could also be used for sharpening your pencil. Great "little" project.
Thank you very much! Glad you like them Mike! :)
“Good enough” you say… dude… they are AMAZING!!!
I love that you have consistently gone out of your way (literally doing projects twice) just to show that basic hand tools will do the job. I think if more content creators did that it would inspire even more makers who otherwise would think they can’t afford to make things
Of course you know how to make your own tools...
Those are the cutest lil planers I've ever seen!

Very cool little tools and great to watch the build,
thanksyou for sharing.
Thank you! Got my Marker Knife in the post very quickly thank you love it
Awesome - Glad you like it and thank you for the support! :)

Nice work. I said to my self at beginning ‘here comes a guitar!’ Looking forward to that.
Wonderful little tools, and so beautifully made too. I bought a wooden one a few years back, made from ebony I believe, and I only bought it for fun but was amazed at how useful it actually is. Doesn't take up much room either 😆
Of all the maker channels I've watched over the years I don't know how yours flew under my radar for so long. Fantastic work as usual.
Thanks very much Doug - Glad you enjoying the channel! :)

Really enjoyed. The end card reminded me how much I loved scrap wood challenge
"Oh, why would anyone bother with such a fiddly thing?" As I work on fill embroidery for a 6" boarder on a King size quilt. I'll never make one of yours, but they sure are pretty.
A great planer and irreplaceable in violin making😃

Your attention to detail and your determination are unmatched. I love it.
They are charming and pretty planes! And they work great!

Oh dear! I can feel another plane build coming on.
Thanks for an absolute masterclass in tool making, and being such an inspiration.
Thanks very much Alan - glad the video inspired you! :)
A wizard with wood and metal.
Your projects never cease to amaze me. Well done, Neil.
Thanks very much Jason - Glad you enjoy them! :)
I'm sure it's been said before, but thank you for doing it "the hard way." Proving that us "mere morals" can do it without a massive investment in tools
I've never seen such things! They're so cute!
Looking forward to the guitar build Neil! I've just started a cigar-box style guitar myself, and I agree, luthiering is hard! Looking forward to see where the mini plane comes in, but i have a hunch 👌
The guitar build is going to be tricky and I'm probably biting off more than I can chew. I'm really looking forward to it though! :)
This link take you to a video that I found is the very best knife/tool sharpening demonstration/explanation I have ever seen. It’s informative I just had to share it. (I’m not affiliated with the channel)
i love that you show your mistakes and learn by them and give solutions, great job, thankyou for being authentic
Those punches do look pretty slick. Beautiful finger planes, love the passion. Another solid build, Pask.
Thanks very much - the punches really are something special. :)
Fantastic! Useful and inspirational! I use my old worn out recip blades to make marking knives and such as well- a shame to just throw out such good steel.
Neil thank you, I had great time while watching as always. Both of them seems very good. Happy new year.
I've seen some amazing builds over the years on your channel Neil and they never fail to amaze me no matter how many times I watch them.
Absolutely wonderful little planes mate.
Thanks very much Ian - glad you're still enjoying the channel and my little projects! :)
That's a awesome little plane... rocking cradle plane good job Neil as always
Fantastic, Neil. Well done.
Bill
Love them! They look like a pair of trainers for a very small person. Like that you made one with hand tools. Kind regards.
Every video you make you surprise me with your mastery, I admire your patience and wisdom to work on that scale¡¡¡¡¡¡👏👏👌👍
The small planes looks absolutely awesome, and they work extremely well. Good job Master builder
That's freaking adorable
Ooooooo!!! I have GOT to try making these! Great video, thanks for sharing!
Always a pleasant surprise to see a Pask Makes video appear in my RUclips feed!

Excellent work 👍👍👍. Thank you for sharing. Be safe 🇨🇦
Great Neil. Love it.
Thank you! :)
Yeah, I’ll have a set of those too!
Bu sanatı izleme fırsatı verdiğin için teşekkürler 😊
Those are stunning!
Unsurprisingly of course.
What a great little plane!
These are great for making match stix
Miniatures are the best! They make my heart soar! Great job Neil!
Absolutely amazing craftsmanship as usual 👌
That;s some real old world skill there.
Unbelievable skills. Always a pleasure to watch your videos. Thank you so much for taking the time to share.
They are so small and cute!!! Really want one now ahhh :D
I think I wanna try making one when I have access to a workbench again. Im moving soon and maybe my new area has a reachable makersspace !!! . If not I should get a vice as this is basically the only tool that I am missing to recreate it .
Your work is impeccable. As always!
Thank you very much Francois! :)
Beautiful planes very nice job you done on them thanks
Great job, yet again. Cool project.
Fantastic craftsmanship! 👌🏴🇬🇧
Cool project! Very Alton Brown-I could buy one but it’s fun to make…
Amazing skills, I'm so impressed.
Damn! Nice work sir. Thank you
As always, terrific work Neil & those mini planes turned out great mate! 👍👍🔨🔨
Great film, always well done. Very cool planes. Mahalo for sharing! : )
Fantastic job ! 👌👍

Excited to see what you will make with them
They have the fizz factor
Great build Neil! Looking forward to the guitar build. I'd be too scared I'd lose them.
They're awesome💚🇬🇧🌱 I'm going to make some Ali ones today...👍
Thanks Pask
dedication personified.
🌟🥇👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼Brilliant, Neil.
Beautiful
Fantastic thanks I am inspired
Excellent !
Absolutely beautiful!! And practical too... Now I want to make one myself! =))
No matter what you make, your videos are always a delight
Thanks very much Morten! :)
Beautiful work, Neil! They look and work amazingly! Really well done!!! 😃
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
